Hi, I am trying to netboot using ConnectX-7 to netboot. The motherboard only has UEFI interface.
I can netboot the server using her onboard NIC but I cannot netboot using ConnecX-7. It starts netbooting. I can see it is dhcp/pxe through tcpdump from PXE server but it gets stuck after
“NBP File Download Successfully”
Here is what we got:
Motherboard PN: HPM-ERSDEA
ConnectX-7 PN: MCX755106AC-HEAT
PXE Server OS: RHEL 9.
hi Choi
1 Please kindly make sure you use the last version FW and driver:
2 Change the EFI boot options using “mlxconfig” from the MFT tools:
LEGACY_BOOT_PROTOCOL=<ISCSI|ISCSI_WO_FAIL_PXE|NONE|PXE|PXE_WO_FAIL_ISCSI>Select boot protocol for legacy BIOS expansion ROM
(Flexboot)
0x0: NONE - The expansion ROM will not add this PCI PF
as a boot target during the POST stage.
0x1: PXE - The expansion ROM will use PXE boot. >>>>>>>>>>choose this
0x2: ISCSI - The expansion ROM will use iSCSI boot.
0x4: PXE_WO_FAIL_ISCSI - PXE without fail-over to
ISCSI. Supported when legacy_boot_wo_failover_sup
ported==1.
0x5: ISCSI_WO_FAIL_PXE - ISCSI without fail-over to
PXE.Supported when legacy_boot_wo_failover_sup
ported==1.
EXP_ROM_PXE_ENABLE=<False|True> Enable Expansion ROM option for PXE >>>>choose true
EXP_ROM_UEFI_ARM_ENABLE=<False|True> Enable Expansion ROM option for UEFI for ARM based host >>>>choose true
EXP_ROM_UEFI_x86_ENABLE=<False|True> Enable Expansion ROM option for UEFI for x86 based host >>>>choose true
